And both “black” women married white men. Get these sellouts off my screen.

concerned for your mentality

if you love someone, and choose to marry them for this reason, why would it matter if their skin is a different colors than yours? it seems when people are concerned about race, they are insecure about their own.

Zoe Saldana

They married who they loved and the men who loved them. Ain’t nothing sellout about love not even when multitudes of black men do it. No bigger sellout to her own life than some woman sitting around waiting and hoping for a man to please total strangers.

“When I’m around Black or White people, I’m always in the middle. Especially when I am around Black people; they will really tell how they feel about White people regardless of the fact that I’m also White and have White relatives. It’s very interesting and can be really hard.” – Karyn Parsons
